A new Carter has been welcomed into the world. Lil Wayne's son, Dwayne Carter III, was born this afternoon at Christ Hospital in Cincinnati. No one is sure about the mother of the child, but there are a couple of theories.

Oh, Lynne Spears, bless her heart. The mother of three is still promoting that pathetic book, Through the Storm, this time taking her inane ramblings to The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet, where she admitted that she doesn't know a heck of a lot. My mother used to always say "I didn't just fall off the turnip truck," but I'm pretty sure Lynne Spears did — the lady admits to not knowing whether Britney's first music video was too sexual or if she was doing drugs at some point in her career — and she thought Jamie-Lynn was a virgin! Ha! This, from the lady who allowed JL's boyfriend to enjoy multiple overnight visits. What did you think they were doing, Lynne?

Oh, Lynne Spears. Watching you on The Today Show trying to justify how badly you screwed up in raising Britney was one of the most entertaining things we've seen in quite some time. Sure, you had to raise Jamie Lynn back at home, but it's pretty obvious you turned over your daughter's childhood in exchange for a paycheck. And no, sending Britney away at 16 to be a star is not the same thing as normal parents watching their children go off to college. Not in the least. It's no wonder Brit is so troubled.

All those rumors about Lynne Spears' parenting book, Through the Storm, detailing Britney's sex life and drug use turned out to be false. Obviously. Lynne knows not to bite the hand that feeds her. But Britney, in a rare moment of wisdom, has still cut off contact with her mother:

While the book doesn't dish on Britney's sex life or drug use, it blames all of Britney's problems on her daughter's former managers. Spears — who already considered her mother a siphon on her purse — is 'upset' about the book, spies said, especially when she feels Lynne herself caused so many of her problems and issues.

We'd have to agree with Brit on this one; while we'd normally get onto her for not accepting part of the blame, it's not really a 14-year-old girl's responsibility to make sure her mother isn't whoring her out. And we applaud her for recognizing that Lynne is still doing just that.

Denise Richards has received quite a bit of negative publicity in recent years for her inability to act like a decent human being, but now she has taken to her favorite tabloid to brag about what a great mother she has become. In fact, she's so selfless, she put her children in therapy! … And then announced it to the entire world.

My kids are in therapy. It’s very sad that they need to be there, but they do for now. On the other hand, it’s good they have an outlet to deal with their feelings and someone who is just their advocate.

Yes, that is good, Denise. If only the girls had an advocate who lived with them and cared for them full-time — let's just call this person a "mother" — who isn't busy blabbing about her children's personal lives to In Touch.

We feel kind of gross even commenting on this story, but here it is: The newest Hollywood romance involves two 9-year-olds who are likely flirting in the sandbox as we type.

Forget Brangelina. There's a new couple poised to take Hollywood by storm…and they have a combined age of 18!

Kate Beckinsale has reportedly given her 9-year-old daughter Lily permission to 'date' Brooklyn Beckham — the son of Posh Spice and soccer star David Beckham.

Any hopes of these kids having a normal childhood just went right out the window with that story, seeing as how Life & Style staffers are already working on next week's cover: "Beckhamsale: Brooklyn Won't Commit! Lily Walks Out After Finding Text Messages From Other Women!"
